ChandlerWicks Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi There!Does anyone know how to calculate the cost of ink, for printing labels at home? Thanks, Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 My label program actually does this for me, so I cant help with too much detail. But I can tell you it calculates mine at .003 cents each. A lot depends on laser, inkjet and if they are individual color cartridges and how many colors there are on your label. I typically accounted my ink at .02 each. Are yours B&W or full color? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzyK Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 That is a tough thing to calculate. That's cool that there's some that do it for you! Mine have a lot of color so when figuring product costs I usually add .02-.05 for ink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
